Ankylosing spondylitis and Anterior Uveitis are autoimmune inflammatory disorders having common association through HLA B 27. Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder of axial skeleton. It usually begins in 2nd or 3rd decade with male to female prevalence between 3:1. It is important to establish the diagnosis of Ankylosing spondylitis early before development of irreversible deformity i.e. bamboo spine. Anterior Uveitis is an acute inflammatory disorder of the eye which can lead to pupil block glaucoma hence should be diagnosed early. We are reporting a case of ankylosing spondylitis with anterior uveitis in a young female diagnosed early before development of irreversible complications such as bamboo spine and glaucoma respectively. Treatment involved immunosuppresives and corticosteroids.
